Family Restaurants near Siesta Key, FL

“We have had the BEST night hanging out at the bar! Brittney has been an AWESOME server. We can’t say enough great things about her. She was friendly, funny and super attentive. We have been coming to Siesta Key for 10 years, but this has been one of our best, most memorable nights. We plan to return this week for Happy Hour! We live Daiquiri Deck. Thanks again to Brittney for taking care of two midwesterners who were enjoying the NCAA tournament. Go Hawkeyes (women’s BB) and go Illini (men’s BB)!“

“Surprisingly great food and drinks for a beach stand! Beautiful view of beach and seems great spot for a sunset view. The staff was super nice and fun with customers. Reasonable prices and good amount of food. Would be a 5 if there were more tables.“

“A nice family style restaurant with wonderful home cooked dishes. I’ve been twice from Tampa and even considered driving there for just a meal. The ingredients are all organic and all the options are endless. If you enjoy vegetables, home style recipes, and delicious sweet’s please give this place a try.“

“It was pretty good. The food was good, but it was not great considering the price. We spent $40 for two meals. One breakfast of eggs and bacon, nothing fancy. And I had the chicken wrap. We had waters to drink. The place was super busy, so the servers were really spread too thin. Maybe they were short-staffed? The portions were really big, so that was good. Although we didn't sit outside, it looked really nice! Good place for the snowbirds, but as a local, we have other top choices!“

“The best place for outdoor dining. Wonderful service as well. The best item is the Old Salty (hot) Dog. For non-fried food, their black-bean burger is good. Get their boom-boom sauce with the fries.Dietary restrictions: Difficult to find gluten free options. You'll have to go with a salad most likely.Parking: If you get there after noon you'll have to park on the street and walk.Kid-friendliness: Great place foe kids because of the open air space as well as lots if things to look at.“

“We came across Dutch Valley while we were in Siesta Key on vacation. The last two days we were driving around trying to locate a place that had home cooked food instead of burgers and wings. We had the best breakfast and dinner. All fresh and served hot. They have everything you could want. Great price too. The service was excellent. I have nothing negative to say at all. Needless to say that was our place to eat the last two days of our trip. Will be back next year.“

“Excellent. Very delicious food, very good treatment. The mini search game is very entertaining for children.Kid-friendliness: Yes. They have a children's menu and you get a frisbee as a gift. Also to entertain them there are a few things written on the menu so they can look for them around the bar.“

“I went as part of a group of 8 but I feel like this restaurant is used to larger parties. There were lots of drink and food options for everyone. The cuban sandwich was surprisingly good, I only got it since other reviews were positive. My friends were pleased with the burgers, nachos, wings, key lime pie, and drinks. The fries and onion rings were bland as was the “famous” dill dipping sauce they came with. We were also glad to see some other tables get food before eli’s because some of the portions definitely were not reflective of the price (especially the coconut shrimp).Our waitress was nice but we felt like she was yelling at us to speak over how loud it was. She also didn’t clarify when things would be extra so a lot of us were unexpectedly charged for things like cheese on a burger and extra sauce.I do still think it’s a good place for large groups after or during a beach day.“

“The place was very welcoming and uplifting as you walk up the stairs and see the huge selection of daiquiris.The staff was helpful with suggestions if you were stuck on which one to choose from. I didn't try any food but it did smell and look good from what I could see,I wish we had one of these in my state because this is honestly one of my favorite spots to be when I visit Sarasota.Only downside is it being kid friendly, but I just ignored it and got my drink on. I came back for a second after I walked the village and went to Siesta Key Beach to catch the sunset.Parking: I parked at the Public beach #5 since I was visiting the beach and walked the village, it was much easier for me and parking is costly if you don't use the free parking lots.“
